Is that yours? Mind sharing what waterline tile you used?

Is there really any evidence that he harbors Nazi or white supremacist aims aside from that tattoo? The various online statements of controversy read like the stuff that gets written on here every day.

Seconded, very weird to see that take repeated on Surly.

I don’t think he would be done that fast, but he’s going to be dealing with more intense NIL donor fatigue this offseason and CDC is going to be unable to shield him from making semi-public* his plan for fixing it. *in other words, it’ll leak out a little here but it’ll mostly be shared with the luxury box types. I know everyone is repeating that Sark the OC has to go-which is weird, that’s his strength. Sark the GM is what needs to go.

I’ve not been able to find a picture of the tattoo online-what exactly is the symbol that’s caused so much ruckus?

I’ve had this on my list to watch forever because it seemed like a Spanish “When Evil Lurks”, I’m a sucker for religious horror and I’ve been a little underwhelmed with my most recent forays into serialized frights (Evil, Castle Rock, From). It sounds like this is a little campy, maybe like Evil (for those that have seen it), is that right?

It’s a pretty crazy story, I was just there pretty much all afternoon on Thursday and was up and close with the jewels. The whole place is incredible, as is just the logistics of moving thousands of visitors through the complex daily. Best part, in my opinion, are the exhibits featuring items from the Levant, Sumeria, and Iran, including enormous stone decorations and statues from the palace of Darius. Also a huge collection of Egyptian antiquities that included more sarcophagi than I’ve seen in one place. Also very cool is the old moat underground from the original fortress that preceded the palace. Most disappointing absence is anything related to French medievalism (besides the moat)-no tapestries, no armor or weapons (there’s some ceremonial armor in the French wing but it’s the only set), nothing about the Franks or Charles Martel or Charlemagne. I’m sure there’s another museum for that among the hundreds here.

Wrapped up 3 days in Paris, in Aix now and for three days then back to Paris for 2. Had dinner at Septime yesterday evening (I took pics so might do a recap later) but TL:DR it was a little underwhelming for a top 30 in the world restaurant (short version is the wine pairing was the highlight). For @PenelopeWitherspoon, I don’t know if you ever made it to Le Servan but it was just okay (my wife enjoyed both of these meals more than me, fwiw). Best meal so far was P1 Bouche in Montmartre for lunch. Everyone here is slender, handsome, and smokes a lot. Also, zero athleisure.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
LCHorn replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
Point of order-I don’t know a whole lot about French colonialism, but I’m pretty up to speed on the East India Company and fathering children was super common in Hong Kong and in India. It wasn’t until the dissolution of the company and the transfer of power to British colonial administrators that the British starting bringing over their families and not finding local companions. -
One Battle After Another, the next Paul Thomas Anderson film
LCHorn replied to mdmost's topic in Movies and TV
Phantom Thread is #2, for me, as well. It’s so focused, kind of the anti-Magnolia and the ending is sublime. It also plays well as a metaphor for the film makers process and antisocial behaviors. -
I loved Deadwood, but everything with Brian Cox and the theater troupe is a beating.

There’s a Politico interview from a couple of days ago (found it) that left the impression all of the major tech leaders are gigantic assholes if given the space and freedom to remove themselves from such parochial concerns as concern for fellow humans.

I don’t think this is ridiculous at all, in fact it’s probably the most vital debate of our time. Also, I’m on team Joy Division=punk.
